To all whom/it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH LUPPINO, a subject Ot' the King of Italy, residing in New York, borough of Manhattan, county of New `with relation to the other to form either a double bed or a davenport, the object of the present inventionbeing to provide an improved means for shifting one of -said sections. relatively to the other to `form 'either a double bed or a davenport, and' which means will also, on the shifting of said section, open or, close the cushions vor mattress.

ln the 'drawings accompanying and forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the framework of this inkiproved davenport bed7 the metallic fabric ot both sections being broken away to more clearly illustrate the improvement and the end members or arms being shown in dotted lines; Fig. 2 is an end view of this improved davnport bed arranged as a davenport, theV arms or ends being removed; Fig. 3 is a i iew similar to Fig. 2, but showing the improvcment arranged as a double bed; Fig. i is a detail of a part of the Operating means; and Fig'. is a perspective view of a modification of this improvement, the4 dotted lines illustrating the same arranged as a double bed.

lSimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the dilfercnt figures of the drawings.

ln'thc present embodiment this improved davenport bed comprises a pair of sections 2 and one of winch, as 2, may be Considered the main section and the other, as 3, the swinging or adjustable section. Each section may be made up inany suitable manner. but in the present instance the main ,section comprises a pair of' end frames 4 and 5, each comprising a cross bar 6 and a depending leg 7 provided with a suitable caster S. the cross bars being connected by means of a metallic fabric 9iwhile the legs are suitably' braced by `longitudinally extending braces 10, ll. The rear side ofthese two end frames is also connected by suitable longitudinaily extending bars 12 to depending members 13 'secured to the cross bars 6. ln the form shown in Fig. 5 these depending members are sufliciently long to form an additional pair of legs 14 carrying casters 15 for the main section. The other or swinging section 3 likewise comprises a pair of cross bars 1G connected by a metallic fabric 1T, which bars are connected at their outer `ends by alongitudinally extending bar 18.

Fixed to the inner end of each cross bar 16 of lthe swinging section is algear 19, which gear is journaled on an upstanding bracket 20 fixed to each cross bar 6 of the main section,"and this gear meshes with a similar gear 21 likewise journaled on said bracket, and to each pair of gears 21 a swinging bar formed frame 22 is fi'xedly secured and by means of which the gears 21 are rotated to rotate the gears 19 and thereby swinfr the section 3 of the bed upwardly or ownwardly.A

The metallic fabric of the main section supports a suitable cushion o1' mattress 23 which is usually provided with a fancy covering, while the swinging section is provided with tvhat may be considered a book mattress 24, it comprising two parts 25 and 26', one of which, as 25, is permanently connected to the swinging section and has its top formed of some suitable material, as ordinary ticking, while the other, as 26, is connected orattached to the swinging bar frame 22 by means of tapes 27 or otherwise, and the outer side 28 of this part which is altached to the swinofing bar -frame is usually of the same material and formation as the permanent cushion fixed to the main frame. while the inside 29 thereof is of the same material as the mattress carried by the swinging section and therefore usually of ticking. so that when the swinging bar frame is up in its normal position and the couch bedis in the form of a davenport the seat and back of the davenport will be alike. and of some ornamental fabric. ll'hcn. howevcrrthe strnclure is transformed into a double couch bed. in which position the swinging bar frame is in the position shown in Fig. 3, the book mattress 2t will then be opened, so that the top of the swinging section of the bed and the inside of thc cushion carried by the swinging bar frame will form the top of the bed, and this may be,` as stated, of ordinary tickf ing. Itwill be obser ved that by this arrangement, when that part or half of the book mattress carried by the swinging bar frame is resting upon the seat cushion of the main section, then both ofthe mattresses will be 5 level, although the metallic fabric of the swin ing section is slightly higher than the metalic fabric ofthe main Asect1on. 4

In order to assist the movement of the swin ing section suitablesprings 30 are provide connected to projections or extensions 31 atthe inner endsof the cross bars 16 of the swinging frame 3 and to4 a part 32 of the main section. On the swinging of'the bar 4frame 22 the swing section of lthe bed will be swung downwardly into position shown for` instance in dotted lines in Fig. 5, in

which form of bed `the outer ends of the cross bars 16 forming the end frames are rovided with legs 33 pivotally secured ,20 t ereto and suitab y braced for supporting the swinging section or frame when it is swung downwardly. In practice, however, it is preferable to provide the davenport with end members or arms 34 of ornamental -Q form, and when these are furnished it is desirable to transform the structure from a davenport into a couch bed without it being necessary to move the arms away from the wall, and to accomplish this these end members are shown rovided with tracks 35, preferably of ang e iron formation, one secured on the inner side of each end frame or arm. These tracks uide the inner ends of the main section or rame which are pro- 35 vided with rolls or casters 36 for this purpose. The swinging frame is linked by suitable levers 37 to these arms, the arms in turn bein suitably braced by longitudinally extending bars 38 and 39, one, as 3S, being lo- 40 cated adjacent to the front ends of the arms while the other, as 39, is located adjacent to the rear ends of such arns, the latter being located at just the right height to support the outer side of the swinging frame 3 and thus takes the place of the pivoted llegs shown in Fi 5. In this form of the davenport, when t ie swinging bar frame is swung downwardly it will move or slide the main section forwardly or outwardly on its tracks in a horizontal plane, while simultaneously throwing the back or swin ing section downwardly and backwardly into position to form a double bed, the forward side of the back moving or sliding forward, in other words, following the rear side of the sliding section so that the back is swung down into a horizontal position without the necessity of sliding the davenport from the wall in order to swing the back down into a horizontal position. At the same time the book mattress is opened in the manner herembefore described, ready for use. The bed clothing may be carried between the two halves or portions of the book mattress, so that when the davenport is transformed lnto 'not know that it was anything else but a regular davenport, while at the same time all the advantages of a metallic formed double couch bed are obtained, and this in a 'comparatively simple manuel'. Moreover, 75

the transformation froma' davenport to a couch, or vice versa, can be readily and quickly accomplished Aby the mani ulation of the swinging bar, which bar can e read' ily manipulated even by a child. 80

By means of the foregoing improvement it will also be observed that when the structure is used as a. davenport one half of the two-part or book formed mattress is so folded or doubled that it rests upon the other half, while the latter rests directly ,upon its metallic fabric, so that`the two parts of the mattress are folded to form a cushion of double thickness the full width of the couch, but that when the bar frame, which is of skeleton formation, is swung downwardly it not'only shifts the sections into a double bed, but also unfolds or opens out the book mattress and swings one part thereof over upon the top of the seat of the main section. This simultaneous transforming of the davenport into a double' bed and `the opening of the mattress is thus accom- 'by a single downward movement ofthe bar.

It will, of course, be understood that the .cushions or mattresses might be reversed, that forming the seat in the present construction bein attached. to the swinging section of the be while the book mattress could be attached to the main section, in which case, of course, the bar would have to beV arranged so as to swing upwardly instead of downwardly.

The ends or arms of the combined davenport and bed may be readily detached so as to form` the structure shown in Fig. 5, in which case it is only necessary'to add the shiftable legs to the swingingsecti'on of the bed and supply the depending members of the main section with sufficient llength of casters to reach the floor, y 125 In practice `it is preferable to have the swingmg bar 22, when the davenportus opened as a couch bed, rest at its front e du directly npon the metal parts of the ma section, as shown, for instance, in Fig. 3,411!! j. ,A to permit thisI thebar'QQ iSQMSo. attached to -itsgearsl that 'the vW'i i a slight play relatiyejtosnch gears,`an pose-r the b'ar' is shownl lJivote with the ,inner endsol the with slotsi Awhich Work pins a() ai led by the gears. By thisl'neans, when, the' gears have been rotated to swing the back ofthe davenport down into its proper position the bar wlll be permitted to drop shghtl)7 so as to rest at its upper end on the metal portions of the main section. Of course, it will be understood that any suitable means could be used to support the outer end of the swim preferred.
